Zhang Tingting didn't dare to make a fuss after hearing this. She got up and said, "Please don't tell my in-laws about this. Otherwise, I really will have to die, and then you will be indirectly murdering someone."

Feng Ying sighed, "I'm giving you a chance, not because of your threats, but because I think you're still young and I don't want your life to be ruined today. But if you harass Vice President Jiang again, I will show no mercy."

What else could Zhang Tingting say? She could only flee.

After watching Zhang Tingting leave, Jiang Qingru thanked Feng Ying again: "Thank you so much, I don't know how to say it. If it weren't for you, I would be in trouble."

Feng Ying said, "I just can't stand seeing people like Zhang Tingting do bad things, and I can't stand seeing honest people like you being bullied."

Jiang Qingru laughed: "Tell me, how could I have imagined that I would be scared like this by a woman?"

"Isn't it because you know too little about women? And it's time for you to get a girlfriend."

"I've been busy all the time and don't have time to think about anything else."

"Then you have time to think about it. I'll go back first." Feng Ying's face turned red and she went out after she said that.

Jiang Qingru sent Feng Ying to the door and wanted to chat with her, but he didn't expect Feng Ying to leave before he could thank her properly.

After a rain, the weather became colder, and the water on the ground was frozen into a thin layer of ice in the morning and evening.

On the weekend, Lu Jingshen came back and Ai Xiaoxia said that she had prepared wine and food at home and invited Jiang Qingru to dinner. Lu Jingshen also had the same idea.

On Sunday morning, Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen went to the hospital and made an appointment with Jiang Qingru to come to their house for dinner in the evening. Then they bought meat, vegetables, etc. and returned home.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Ai Xiaoxia started preparing dinner, and Lu Jingshen helped her. Everything was ready and they just had to wait for Jiang Qingru to come and start cooking.

Jiang Qingru came quite early, at 4:30, carrying a lot of things including cigarettes, alcohol, canned food and fruits.

Lu Guojiu and Li Shaofen also came out to greet him. You know, this is Xiaobao's savior.

While helping Jiang Qingru carry things, Lu Jingshen scolded him, "I invited you to dinner to thank you. It's too awkward for you to bring so many things."

Jiang Qingru smiled and said, "I got this for my uncle and aunt, not for you. You were always number one in school, which made me always the second best. I've always felt resentful about it."

His joke made everyone laugh and the atmosphere became more cheerful.

After entering the house and sitting down, Ai Xiaoxia went to the kitchen to start cooking.

Li Shaofen naturally came out to help, and Lu Jingyuan did what he could on the side.

Lu Jingshen and Jiang Qingru talked about some things that happened during their school days. Both of them were focused on studying, so there wasn't much that was interesting. They didn't even have a deep impression of the girls in their class. They only remembered a few naughty boys and the top ten students in the grade.

Soon it was dark and the lights in the house were turned on.

Ai Xiaoxia asked Lu Jingyuan to set the table, get the dishes and chopsticks, and prepare to eat.

Lu Jingshen also came out to help carry the bowls and chopsticks and serve the dishes.

Jiang Qingru didn't have many friends, so he wasn't shy about the ones he recognized. He followed her out, smelling the aroma. Looking at the dish Ai Xiaoxia had cooked, he was surprised. "No, I really didn't expect Xiaoxia to have this skill. I haven't heard of it before."

Ai Xiaoxia smiled and said, "If I had shown this skill when I was at my parents' house, they would have ordered food every day, and they would have forced me to go out to cook to earn money. I'm not stupid."

Jiang Qingru nodded: "That's true. I used to think you were a poor little thing, but I didn't expect you to be so smart. I underestimated you."

Ai Xiaoxia thought, didn't I change my core? Of course, I couldn't say that, so I could only say, "I was forced to do that, what else could I do?"

"That's right. Hey, your family is really... Never mind, I'm in a good mood today, so let's not talk about this. I'll help you serve the dishes. Which one do you want?" Jiang Qingru asked.

Ai Xiaoxia placed the freshly-served dish next to the stove: "Broiled pork ribs, cousin, please help me bring it in."

Jiang Qingru agreed and went in with the dishes.

Soon the eight dishes were ready, and the portions were all very large. Lu Guojiu had originally suggested that they eat separately so that it would be more convenient for them to talk in the west room, but Ai Xiaoxia and the others said that it would be lively to eat together since they were all family and there was no need to worry so much.

When they sat at the table, Lu Jingshen raised his glass first to thank Jiang Qingru for taking care of Ai Xiaoxia in the past.

After drinking the first glass, Lu Jingshen raised a second glass to thank Jiang Qingru for helping Xiaobao.

The third cup is to express the hope that everyone will move around more in the future.

After three cups of wine, everyone started to eat.

Jiang Qingru couldn't help but praise Ai Xiaoxia's cooking skills several times, and he didn't hold back and indeed ate a lot.

Lu Guojiu and Li Shaofen didn't drink, so they finished eating quickly. They also wanted to give the young people their own space, so the old couple said they had something to do at Lu Lin's house and asked them not to rush and eat slowly, and then they took Lu Jingyuan away as well.

Only Ai Xiaoxia, Lu Jingshen and Jiang Qingru were left, and after drinking some wine, they started chatting.

Lu Jingshen is a man of few words, but when he meets someone who shares his feelings, he can be quite talkative.

However, Jiang Qingru was a doctor, so Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen did not urge him to drink. After they had almost finished drinking, they switched to soda.

As they were talking, they talked about Zhang Tingting again. Jiang Qingru also told them about how Zhang Tingting seduced him, and asked them to be careful of Zhang Tingting. This woman was very sinister. This time, Zhang Tingting couldn't even do her contract work, and she was resentful and would inevitably seek revenge.

Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen were shocked when they heard this. They hadn't expected Zhang Tingting to be so naive as to seduce her superior. In this day and age, a woman who cheated would be cursed by the whole village.

Although the seduction attempt failed, she was really shameless. Such an undisciplined woman would be a problem in the future. Lu Jingxue might end up with a green grassland on his head.

This incident really made the three of them despise it. Of course, they also said that they should be careful about Zhang Tingting, after all, she has no bottom line.

After dinner, it was getting late, so Jiang Qingru was about to say goodbye and go back.

Ai Xiaoxia remembered that on the day Xiaobao was injured, the doctor named Feng Ying went over to help. Although she was helping Jiang Qingru, she really helped with all her heart. So Ai Xiaoxia thought about making a few dumplings these days and let Jiang Qingru bring one to Feng Ying as a token of her appreciation.

She picked one suitable for winter, put it in a paper bag, and asked Jiang Qingru to help convey her gratitude.

Jiang Qingru thanked Feng Ying on her behalf and left.

Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen saw him out of the yard and watched him walk away before going home.

After the two of them washed the dishes and cleaned up the house, Lu Guojiu and the others came back with a bucket of fish, which was given to them by Su Changzhu's friend. They had exactly half of the fish back.
